Hãy nhớ Chúa

8 Phải cẩn thận làm theo mọi mệnh lệnh ta truyền cho các ngươi hôm nay. Rồi các ngươi sẽ được sống và gia tăng dân số, các ngươi sẽ được vào đất CHÚA đã hứa cùng tổ tiên các ngươi. 2 Hãy nhớ rằng CHÚA là Thượng Đế đã dẫn các ngươi trong sa mạc suốt bốn mươi năm nay, cất khỏi các ngươi lòng kiêu căng và thử thách các ngươi, để dò lòng các ngươi, xem thử các ngươi có muốn làm theo mệnh lệnh Ngài hay không. 3 Ngài cất tánh tự phụ ra khỏi các ngươi khi để cho các ngươi đói, rồi nuôi các ngươi bằng ma-na, là thứ mà các ngươi và tổ tiên ngươi chưa hề thấy. Để dạy các ngươi rằng người ta sống không chỉ nhờ bánh [a] mà thôi, mà còn bằng lời nói của CHÚA. 4 Trong bốn mươi năm nay, quần áo các ngươi không sờn rách, và chân các ngươi không sưng phồng. 5 Hãy nhớ trong lòng rằng CHÚA đã sửa dạy các ngươi như cha sửa dạy con mình.

6 Hãy vâng theo mọi mệnh lệnh của CHÚA là Thượng Đế ngươi, sống theo cách Ngài truyền dặn và kính sợ Ngài. 7 CHÚA là Thượng Đế đang đem ngươi vào vùng đất tốt lành, xứ có nhiều sông, hồ đầy nước, với những dòng suối chảy vào thung lũng và các đồi, 8 xứ của lúa mì, lúa mạch, nho, vả, lựu, dầu ô liu, và mật ong. 9 Đất đó là nơi các ngươi sẽ có thức ăn dư dật, nơi ngươi có đủ mọi thứ cần dùng, nơi mà đá là sắt, và ngươi có thể đào mỏ đồng từ các đồi. 10 Các ngươi sẽ được ăn no nê, các ngươi sẽ ca ngợi CHÚA là Thượng Đế các ngươi vì Ngài đã ban cho ngươi xứ tốt lành.

Đừng quên những điều Chúa làm

11 Hãy cẩn thận, đừng quên CHÚA là Thượng Đế ngươi mà bất tuân mệnh lệnh, luật lệ và qui tắc của Ngài mà ta truyền cho các ngươi hôm nay.

12 Khi các ngươi ăn uống no nê, xây nhà đẹp để ở, 13 khi bầy gia súc tăng gia nhiều, và bạc vàng đầy nhà, khi các ngươi giàu có dư dật, 14 rồi lòng các ngươi đâm ra kiêu căng, các ngươi sẽ quên CHÚA là Thượng Đế các ngươi, Đấng đã đem các ngươi ra khỏi xứ Ai-cập, nơi các ngươi làm nô lệ. 15 Ngài đã dẫn các ngươi qua sa mạc mênh mông ghê rợn, khô khan không có nước, chỉ có rắn độc và bò cạp. Ngài đã ban cho các ngươi nước từ tảng đá, 16 và bánh ma-na để ăn trong sa mạc, là món mà tổ phụ các ngươi chưa hề thấy. Ngài làm như thế để cất lòng kiêu căng khỏi các ngươi và thử nghiệm các ngươi, để các ngươi được hưởng điều an lành về sau. 17 Các ngươi có thể tự nghĩ, “Ta giàu có do tài sức của ta,” 18 nhưng hãy nhớ CHÚA là Thượng Đế các ngươi! Ngài là Đấng ban cho các ngươi tài sức để trở nên phong lưu, Ngài đã giữ lời hứa cùng tổ phụ các ngươi, như các ngươi thấy hôm nay.

19 Nếu các ngươi quên CHÚA là Thượng Đế mình và đi theo và thờ cúng những thần khác, cúi lạy chúng thì ta cảnh cáo các ngươi rằng các ngươi sẽ bị tiêu diệt. 20 Như CHÚA đã hủy diệt các dân khác giùm các ngươi, Ngài cũng sẽ hủy diệt các ngươi nếu các ngươi không vâng theo lời Ngài.

Deuteronomy 8
New English Translation

The Lord’s Provision in the Desert

8 You must keep carefully all these commandments[a] I am giving[b] you today so that you may live, increase in number,[c] and go in and occupy the land that the Lord promised to your ancestors.[d] 2 Remember the whole way by which he[e] has brought you these forty years through the wilderness so that he might, by humbling you, test you to see if you have it within you to keep his commandments or not. 3 So he humbled you by making you hungry and then feeding you with unfamiliar manna.[f] He did this to teach you[g] that humankind[h] cannot live by bread[i] alone, but also by everything that comes from the Lord’s mouth.[j] 4 Your clothing did not wear out nor did your feet swell all these forty years. 5 Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child,[k] so the Lord your God disciplines you. 6 So you must keep his[l] commandments, live according to his standards,[m] and revere him. 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks,[n] springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills, 8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates, of olive trees and honey, 9 a land where you may eat food[o] in plenty and find no lack of anything, a land whose stones are iron[p] and from whose hills you can mine copper. 10 You will eat your fill and then praise the Lord your God because of the good land he has given you.

Exhortation to Remember That Blessing Comes from God

11 Be sure you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments, ordinances, and statutes that I am giving you today. 12 When you eat your fill, when you build and occupy good houses, 13 when your cattle and flocks increase, when you have plenty of silver and gold, and when you have abundance of everything, 14 be sure[q] you do not feel self-important and forget the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery, 15 and who brought you through the great, fearful wilderness of venomous serpents[r] and scorpions, an arid place with no water. He made water flow[s] from a flint rock and 16 fed you in the wilderness with manna (which your ancestors had never before known) so that he might by humbling you test you[t] and eventually bring good to you. 17 Be careful[u] not to say, “My own ability and skill[v] have gotten me this wealth.” 18 You must remember the Lord your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors,[w] even as he has to this day. 19 Now if you forget the Lord your God at all[x] and follow other gods, worshiping and prostrating yourselves before them, I testify to you today that you will surely be annihilated. 20 Just like the nations the Lord is about to destroy from your sight, so he will do to you[y] because you would not obey him.[z]

Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 8:1 tn The singular term (מִצְוָה, mitsvah) includes the whole corpus of covenant stipulations, certainly the book of Deuteronomy at least (cf. Deut 5:28; 6:1, 25; 7:11; 11:8, 22; 15:5; 17:20; 19:9; 27:1; 30:11; 31:5). The plural (מִצְוֹת, mitsvot) refers to individual stipulations (as in vv. 2, 6).
  2. Deuteronomy 8:1 tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB). For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation (likewise in v. 11).
  3. Deuteronomy 8:1 tn Heb “multiply” (so KJV, NASB, NLT); NIV, NRSV “increase.”
  4. Deuteronomy 8:1 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 16, 18).
  5. Deuteronomy 8:2 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  6. Deuteronomy 8:3 tn Heb “manna which you and your ancestors did not know.” By popular etymology the word “manna” comes from the Hebrew phrase מָן הוּא (man huʾ), i.e., “What is it?” (Exod 16:15). The question remains unanswered to this very day. Elsewhere the material is said to be “white like coriander seed” with “a taste like honey cakes” (Exod 16:31; cf. Num 11:7). Modern attempts to associate it with various desert plants are unsuccessful for the text says it was a new thing and, furthermore, one that appeared and disappeared miraculously (Exod 16:21-27).
  7. Deuteronomy 8:3 tn Heb “in order to make known to you.” In the Hebrew text this statement is subordinated to what precedes, resulting in a very long sentence in English. The translation makes this statement a separate sentence for stylistic reasons.
  8. Deuteronomy 8:3 tn Heb “the man,” but in a generic sense, referring to the whole human race (“mankind” or “humankind”).
  9. Deuteronomy 8:3 tn The Hebrew term may refer to “food” in a more general sense (cf. CEV).
  10. Deuteronomy 8:3 sn Jesus quoted this text to the devil in the midst of his forty-day fast to make the point that spiritual nourishment is incomparably more important than mere physical bread (Matt 4:4; cf. Luke 4:4).
  11. Deuteronomy 8:5 tn Heb “just as a man disciplines his son.” The Hebrew text reflects the patriarchal idiom of the culture.
  12. Deuteronomy 8:6 tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
  13. Deuteronomy 8:6 tn Heb “by walking in his ways.” The “ways” of the Lord refer here to his moral standards as reflected in his commandments. The verb “walk” is used frequently in the Bible (both OT and NT) for one’s moral and ethical behavior.
  14. Deuteronomy 8:7 tn Or “wadis.”
  15. Deuteronomy 8:9 tn The Hebrew term may refer to “food” in a more general sense (cf. NASB, NCV, NLT) or “bread” in particular (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).
  16. Deuteronomy 8:9 sn A land whose stones are iron. Since iron deposits are few and far between in Palestine, the reference here is probably to iron ore found in mines as opposed to the meteorite iron more commonly known in that area.
  17. Deuteronomy 8:14 tn The words “be sure” are not in the Hebrew text; vv. 12-14 are part of the previous sentence. For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 in the translation and the words “be sure” repeated from v. 11 to indicate the connection.
  18. Deuteronomy 8:15 tn Heb “flaming serpents”; KJV, NASB “fiery serpents”; NAB “saraph serpents.” This figure of speech (metonymy) probably describes the venomous and painful results of snakebite. The feeling from such an experience would be like a burning fire (שָׂרָף, saraf).
  19. Deuteronomy 8:15 tn Heb “the one who brought out for you water.” In the Hebrew text this continues the preceding sentence, but the translation begins a new sentence here for stylistic reasons.
  20. Deuteronomy 8:16 tn Heb “in order to humble you and in order to test you.” See 8:2.
  21. Deuteronomy 8:17 tn For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 17 in the translation and the words “be careful” supplied to indicate the connection.
  22. Deuteronomy 8:17 tn Heb “my strength and the might of my hand.”
  23. Deuteronomy 8:18 tc Smr and Lucian add “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” the standard way of rendering this almost stereotypical formula (cf. Deut 1:8; 6:10; 9:5, 27; 29:13; 30:20; 34:4). The MT’s harder reading presumptively argues for its originality, however.
  24. Deuteronomy 8:19 tn Heb “if forgetting, you forget.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis; the translation indicates this with the words “at all” (cf. KJV).
  25. Deuteronomy 8:20 tn Heb “so you will perish.”
  26. Deuteronomy 8:20 tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

Deuteronomy 8
King James Version

8 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.

2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.
